Bacchus Restaurant & Wine Bar Review

Located in the center of George Town and surrounded by office buildings and shops, this restaurant does most of its business at lunch and during the late afternoon, after nearby businesses have closed. Dozens of regulars enjoy cocktails after work, making a late afternoon here an especially good time to gain insight into the inner life of Grand Cayman. The restaurant and bar are decorated like a warm, welcoming tavern, with exposed brick and dark mahogany paneling. Lunches are simple, focusing on salads, sandwiches, light platters, and soups. Dinners are more elaborate and can be accompanied by glasses of any of the house wines, ranging from CI$6.95 to CI$8.95 a glass. Other cocktails, such as a melon-flavored piƱa colada, go for CI$6.50 to CI$10. If you just want to hang out at the bar and nibble on snacks and tapas, consider ordering the jerk-chicken quesadilla, the flash-fried calamari with jerk-seasoned tartar sauce, or an antipasto platter. Main courses at dinner may include partially seared tuna tataki, baked portobello mushrooms with Gorgonzola cheese, roasted and olive-crusted rack of lamb, and braised salmon with a seafood salad. The wide-ranging vegetarian options are very tasty as well.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
